dogs actions, and as he had never failed
to follow him before, he hardly knew
what to do.

barked again, and ran toward him, but
when Dot then started into the woods,
the dog stopped, and turned again home.

Dot. He was half cross and half curious
but seeing Tip was determined to go

home, he ran back to him, jumped upon
him and began to lick his face. "Poor old

MEND YOURSELF.

Once upon time there was school
master placed over new school. His
pride was aroused, and he wanted to
make that just the very best school that
ever was. He pondered over it a good
while, and then he concluded that the best
way to get at his object was to arouse q
spirit of self-respect and self improve
ment in the pupils. So, one day, he talk
ed to them quite earnestly; and finally he
said, thinking he had made the subject
very plain to them all: "Now, boys, be-
lieve there's just one way to do this thing
II each one of you will make up his mind
to mend one boy of his faults, the whole
school will be improved in a very short
time"
Gall right, sir" spoke up little Jimmy
Eaton, who had been very much interest
ed in the discussion: GIL mend Jack
Wyeth." The whole school laughed aloud,
for it seemed funny that the only boy
who had not understood what the teach
or meant, was the one to be SO eager to
ans wer.
But, boys, wonder how many of you,
if your name had been Jimmy Eaton,
would have made up your mind to mend
Jimmy Eaton instead Of Jack Wyeth. It
is SO easy to try to mend other folks, and
80 much pleasanter to note other peoples
faults il stead of our own. If you see
faults in your schoolmstes, don't talk
about it or them, but say to yourself:
that looks pretty bad in Jack. I wonder
if 1 do anything like that?" If, on self
examination, you find that you do, just
struggle your best to mend it. Or il you
find you haven't that particular fault,
pick out some other from your own; and
the chances are ten to one that by the
time you have corrected yours, he will
have corrected his, especially if he no.

Ten Years Younger.

Mrs. Mary Montgomery, Of Boston,
writes: "For years, was compelled
to wear a dress cap to conceal bald
spot on the crown of my head but now
gladly lay the cap aside, for your Hair
Vigor is bringing out new growth. 1
could hardly trust my senses when I
first found my hair growing but there
it is, and I am delighted. look ten
gears younger"
A similar result attended the use of
Ayers Hair Vigor by Mrs. o. o. Pres
colt, of Charlestown, Mass, Miss Bessie
III. Bedloe, of Burlington, VT, Mrs. j. j.
Burton, of Bangor, Me-, and numerous
others.
The loss of hair may be owing to i'm
purity of the blood or arrangement of
the stomach and liver, in which case,
course of Ayers Sarsaparilla or of
Ayers Pills, in connection with the
Vigor, may be necessary to give health
and tone to all the functions of the
body. AT the same time, it cannot be
too strongly urged that none of these
remedies can do much good without
a persevering trial and strict attention
to cleanly and temperate habits.

the young man asked as quietly as ever;

"The Czar?" echoed the laborer.
"What does he care for poor peasant?''
It's worth trying, though" said the
young man, earnestly; for yours is really
very hard case. Come, I'll tell you

Half an hour later, just as they came
in sight OF Volkhoff, group of richly

from their horses and took off their hats.

Little Dot started for an afternoon

him, and to take care of him and for five
years he had done his work we'll. II
Dot ran for ball, Tip was close at his
feet. II Dot was in swing, every time
the rope went back and forth Tips feet

Tip seated himself SO close to it that the
child's feet rested on his back. Nobody
ever saw the child without the dog.
Dot was now going to some woods
back Of his house which seemed quite
near, but we're really quite mile away.
The two friends trotted along, when sud
denly Tip sat down, put his head up and
seemed to sniff the air.
"Come along, old fellow" said his little
master, we are only half way there" The
dog seemed to hesitate a minute, bat st

and found his usual place close to the

did not move, but gave a short, quick
bark, threw back his head, again shifting

Can only be preserved by keeping the
scalp clean, cool, and free from dam
druff, and the body in healthful
condition. The great popularity of
Ayers Hair Vigor is due to the fact
that it cleanses the scalp, promotes the
growth of the hair, prevents it from
falling out, and gives it that soft and
silky gloss SO essential to perfect beauty.

MISS PRUDY PRINCLES.

All: here comes Miss Prudy Pringles,
Who lives in house of shingles,
Where good little children can play,
They always are petted,
And never are fretted;
"we'll go with her gladly to-day"
"what have you Miss Prudy Pringles2
Some pleasant musical jingles,
For us, who are coming to-day?
Please let them be funny,
And sweet as new honey;
Then wen be delighted to stay?

Has Away musical jingles,
whenever they come to her house,
At Christmas, to hear her;
They gather quite near her,
And each one keeps still as mouse.
When the bright New-Year's bells jingled
And frost on each rosy face tingled,
To Prudy, the dear children came.
She gave them sweet taffy,
And made them all happy;
Her kindness was ever the same.
Good children, who love sweet jingles,
Should visit Miss Prudy Pringles;
They will always Ind her at home.
If cold, be the weather,
Outside-when together,
They will think that summer is come.

Christmas night a very enjoyable ball
was given at the Cascade hotel. About sew
enty-fve, including both ladies and gentle
men were present and all had jolly time.
The music was furnished by J..J. Gibbons,
Al. Frame and Frank Irving. The latter
did the calling in a most acceptable man

prompt in using it. Certainly Great Falls
is not in want of good orchestra. Their

isit a Stiff or a "StiH?"

Thursday morning Barney" the we'll
known honest raneher, strolled into VIM
| SeIlew's cabin across the river, almost ex-
| haustefi, foot-sore and cold. Barney said
he had been out all ght wandering about
in scare of his shack, having lost the trail
in the darkness of Wednesday night Bar
ney said that in his weary perambulations
he had run across the body of man lying
frozen stiff upon the ground. Who the
unfortunate man was he could not deter
mine but he says he felt of him and tried
to see if he knew him. The story seemed
so plausible that Justice Huy with cor
oner's jury drawn by four horses, with
Joe Herring at the ri bons, went over to
find the corpse. After hunting for two
hours they gave it up and returned to town
the jolliest funeral procession you ever
saw. But they made Barney lie in the
bottom of he sleigh and play corpse. The
crowd which gathered about the Park no
tel to view the remains were somewhat
surprised to see the honest rancher bob
up from under the buffalo shroud and call
for ''wee drap of the crater" So ..e think
that Barney is putting up this joke to play
even with the boys; but We are inclined to
the belief that he either saw a dead man
or else terrified by being lost on the tract
less prairie all night, thought he saw one.
There is no doubt but that he was lost and
wandered about all night for Dell Chowen
followed up his track on horseback, round
and round in constantly enlarging circle.
Barney still insists that what he saw was
no hallucination and says that he will go
with the crowd and try to find the man.
Of course he cannot tell exactly where he
was during all the long watches of the
might. A Helena s. Benton stage driver
found a saddIed horse without rider on
the road few miles from town. on Thurs
day.

Driving off the Cattle.

Williamson's order to Z. S. deputy mar

the Grow reservation, all cattle men af-
fected by the order are Fastening to get
their cattle to this side of the Yellowstone.
The cattlemen prefer removing their own
cattle to having them harrassed by Indian
police and soldiers. The move is liable to
result in serious loss to the cattlemen, as
the north side ranges are almost denuded
of grass and If a cold snap should come it
would probably consign to the shades
thousands of alf-starved cattle, If they
We're allowed to remain upon the reserva-
ton six weeks longer they would be out
Of danger. The Gazette adds that it is the
duty Of Mr.. Toole to fulfill his promise to
do his utmost for the opening Of the res
ervation, and, in the meantime to try to
obtain permission for the cattle to remain
there until spring. The TRIBUNE believes
that Mr.. Toole is doing all that he can to
bring about this much desired result.

For the farther shore, I wot.

With ever fresh force to their ranks.

But the fresh, balmy winds proceed:
They pass high mountains with great store
Of gifts, for lands beyond in need,
Where rigors of an arctic cline hold sway:
Fierc cold and snow do everywhere pre-

The beasts fall dead, men lose their way,
The bravest hearts begin to fail.

For rushing, roaring, flying past
